amazon.com reviewThis film of "Chori Chori Chupke Chupke" is it's own original story, but it does have a hint of "Pretty Woman" in this which adds shape to the whole story.
This is a story about a rich man Raj (Salman Khan), who meets and marries Priya (Rani Mukherjee), and they intend to have a child right away. Raj's grandfather (Amrish Puri) is anxious to see an heir be born to the family before he dies someday. Priya gets pregnant and the family floods them with loving attention. Then, while the family plays cricket, the ball lands near Priya who is watching the game. As she gets up to retrieve their ball, she trips and falls and injures herself badly. The doctor says that she will be fine, but they lose the baby. What's more, Priya will never be able to get pregnant again. Knowing that this will devastate Raj's grandfather because there will not be an heir to the family, Raj and Priya decide to keep this a secret from the family. Raj and Priya decide to hire a surrogate mother to bare a child with Raj. Raj heads out to the red light district and finds a willing "lady of the night" named Madhoo (Preity Zinta), and offers to pay her a small fortune to have his child. So Raj and Priya tell their family that they are going to move to Switzerland for a year because Raj (says he) has a business prospect he wants to explore. These two take Madhoo with them and so the three will live together. Priya stays at a bus depot throughout a rainy cold night so that Raj and Madhoo can "do the deed" so that Madhoo can become pregnant. As Raj and Priya take care of Madhoo, Raj tries to teach Madhoo how to walk, talk, and be more like a respectable lady, and not the "no class" bar girl that she has always been. As Madhoo grows into becoming a respectable, loving, woman, she also starts to fall in love with Raj. Priya begans to feel the threat of Madhoo's yearnings nearing the final stages of Madhoo's pregnancy. And to make matters worse, Raj's family decided to show up in Switzerland in an unannounced surprise visit, to be with Raj and Priya when the baby is born.

Amazon.com reviewQuietly unfolding like a sweet and simple fable, The Way Home is a touching, award-winning film about the common bonds that emerge between distant generations. Directed with delicate compassion by Jyong-Hyang Lee, it's the first South Korean film to receive distribution by a major American studio (under the art-house imprimatur of Paramount Classics), and begins when seven-year-old Sang-Woo (Yoo Seung-Ho) is left with his mute, stooped-over grandmother (Kim Eul-Boon) in her ramshackle hut in a rural region far from the comforts of Seoul. While his single mother struggles to find a job, the selfish boy initially resents his elderly relative, who responds to his obstinate behavior with unconditional love. Slowly, the boy comes to respect and love his caring grandma in return, and while The Way Home is too slight for its 88 minutes and leaves important character details unexplained, its soothing rhythms, youthful humor, and playful score lend universal appeal to the story. (Amazingly, the 78-year-old Kim had never seen a film before appearing in this one.) --Jeff Shannon

Amazon.com reviewWhy, you might ask, would Wes Craven direct a conventional biopic about Roberta Guaspari, a divorced mother of two who created an acclaimed music program in East Harlem's troubled school system? After all, Craven built his career on Freddy Krueger and the Scream trilogy, and you won't find razor-tipped gloves or a single drop of blood in Music of the Heart. All Craven has to do is provide a safe working environment for Meryl Streep (who earned an obligatory Oscar nomination), sublimate his deft directorial style, and surrender to the banalities of Pamela Gray's screenplay, which would've played more effectively on cable TV.

To be fair, Music of the Heart (partially inspired by the 1996 documentary Small Wonders) serves its purpose quite nicely. Streep is flawless in a non-showy role, and the story of Guaspari's celebrated violin training program provides the requisite rush of inner-city inspiration. As a fact-based companion to Mr. Holland's Opus, the film is less effective but similarly engaging; you'd have to be cold-hearted to dismiss it altogether. It's best when focusing on Guaspari's school program and the 10-year struggle to keep it alive; the drama falters when dealing half-heartedly with her tentative relationships, notably with a journalist (Aidan Quinn) who shies from commitment. And Craven? He seems content to direct by the numbers here, leaving inspiration on the screen while forfeiting his own. --Jeff Shannon

we can change DAT movie file to mpg/mpeg using some tricks. if u werkz with Adobe Premiere, actually it doesnt accept mpg/mpeg files. Adobe has notice about this. but in fact, we can import mpg/mpeg file to this.
we can just rename .dat file extension to .mpg file extension in windows explorer.
remember that your windows explorer shows up all of your file extension. if not, go to Tools menu above, choose Folder Option, click View Tab, then uncheck "Hide extension for known types" seel details below.
it was just dirt trick to make ur dat file recognized by adobe premiere. but its not guarantied that ur movie will be werkz fine in adobe premiere. some bugs will accure coz .dat was some bad video compression. for example, it will duplicate ur movie and audio in first second of ur exported movie from this clip.
the other way, we can convert file information of DAT to mpg. its the real convert. not just rename this file name. but rename the information of its file.
we can use vcdgear tools. its very easy to use and absolutely FREE. u can download it here
screenshot :
its allow us to extract mpeg streams from CD images, convert .dat files to mpg, correct mpg errors, and more in a single step.
hope its help u.
